Description

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a topical skin composition and, more particularly, to devices and methods for using a sunscreen composition and a cannabidiol composition.

BACKGROUND

It has long been known that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun damages skin. Depending on geographic location and occupation, some individuals must spend long hours in the sun. Many individuals also endure prolonged exposure to sunlight for recreational or leisure activities.
Sunscreen compositions have been developed to protect the skin from the sun's damaging rays. Sunscreen compositions include one or more sunscreen agents in a dermatologically acceptable vehicle. Sunscreen agents work by absorbing or reflecting UV rays. Sunscreen products are topically applied on skin that will be exposed to the sun and the sunscreen agents therein provide protection from the UV rays. In addition to sunscreen, various other products with a myriad of intended benefits are also topically applied on skin. Some intended benefits of these products include treating pain, anxiety, nausea, epilepsy, and many other ailments.
In recent years, cannabidiol has been gaining popularity for its many health benefits. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has shown promising results in treating a multitude of ailments. For example, CBD has been used to treat pain, anxiety, depression, nausea, seizures, and sleep-related disorders. Similar to sunscreen, one common way to utilize CBD is through topical application of oils, creams, or lotions.
One object of the present disclosure is to provide a topical skin composition that provides both UV protection and the health benefits associated with CBD.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a device and method to store and apply topical skin compositions that include UV protection and CBD.

SUMMARY

In one aspect of the disclosure, a topical skin composition is provided that contains a sunscreen agent, cannabidiol, and a dermatologically acceptable vehicle.
In some embodiments, the dermatologically acceptable vehicle is an emulsion, a cream, a lotion, a serum, or a solution.

Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary device is shown that separately stores a sunscreen composition and a CBD composition for independent application of each composition. The device 1 has a cavity 2 divided by a wall 4 into two separate chambers 6/8. The first chamber 6 contains one of either the sunscreen composition or the CBD composition; the second chamber 8 contains the other composition. A lid 10 affixes to the top of the chamber 2 and is configured to dispense the compositions in the chambers 6/8. The lid 10 is configured to separately dispense the sunscreen composition and CBD composition by pumping, spraying, pouring, or any other suitable method.
By way of example, the lid 10 in FIG. 1 shows a lid 10 with dual pumps 12/14. First pump 12 is configured to dispense the composition from first chamber 6. And second pump 14 is configured to dispense the composition from second chamber 8.
A method of applying the sunscreen composition and the CBD composition includes dispensing a desired amount of sunscreen composition from the corresponding pump 12/14 onto the skin or hand. Then, a desired amount of CBD composition is dispensed from the other pump 12/14. The sunscreen and CBD compositions are then applied simultaneously to the skin providing both UV protection and the health benefits of CBD.
In another embodiment, a sunscreen composition and a CBD composition can be stored separately but applied using a single dispensing action. Referring to FIG. 2, an exemplary device is shown that is configured to dispense the sunscreen composition and the CBD composition in a single dispensing action. The device 1 is comprised of a first chamber 16 and a second chamber 18. The chambers 16/18 are configured to fit together into a head 20. The first chamber 16 contains one composition and the second chamber 18 contains another composition. For example, the first chamber 16 can contain a sunscreen composition while the second chamber contains a CBD composition. When the chambers 16/18 are affixed to the head 20, the head 20 is configured to dispense the composition of the first chamber 16 and the composition of the second chamber 18 in a single dispensing action (e.g. a depression of a pump portion of the head 20).
In one embodiment, the head 20 can be configured to dispense an equal amount from each chamber 16/18. In another embodiment, the head 20 can be configured to dispense a different amount of each composition from the respective chamber 16/18. In yet another embodiment, the head 20 is adjustable such that a user can change the ratio of how much of each composition is dispensed from a respective chamber 16/18. By way of example, the head 20 may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to change the amount of composition that will be drawn out of each chamber during the dispensing action.
A method of applying a sunscreen composition and a CBD composition using the adjustable ratio device includes rotating the head 20 clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired ratio 22 of CBD composition to sunscreen composition. Then, dispense the sunscreen composition and the CBD composition by depressing the head 20. Finally, the compositions are applied on the skin providing both UV protection and the health benefits of CBD.
